Technology!
I am not one to complain too much, but this week "technology" has almost taken the wind from my typically full speed ahead sails! Two weeks ago a gang of hoodlums hacked my debit card and starting charging calls from prisons, shopping sprees at Wal-Mart, and a hotel room at a Red Roof Inn in Santa Ana California. Obviously the folks that I pay for that identity theft protection should have caught this! They called me the last time I was in New York every hour! "Mr. Taylor....did you just make a charge at Louis Vuitton....Mr. Taylor...did you just make a charge at Cartier"? When they got the charge from Philippe Chow they called again! Really? Hmmmm?
Yesterday I get a message that my Google account has been "compromised". I spent many hours changing passwords. Now the I-5 will not speak to Google Gmail. UGH!
I have a new assistant (very efficient) who does not know that I forget passwords as soon as I change them, plus I am too stubborn to write them down. My former assistant wrote them down and kept a record of them all...including my bank info! Needless to say, today we will have a training session, backtrack, and make an addition to the job description! I am sure Cherie can restart the conversation between my phone and Google and make them play nice again.
The man on the phone last night at 9:15 (after my nerve pill got washed down with a glass or two of wine) was very nice and polite (and so was I) which is kind of amazing at that hour. I think it was the nerve pill.

The moral here is that there are a bunch of lazy hackers out there that would rather steal than work, so lock it down...but remember your passwords! Plus...I vote for a lifetime password that is like your fingerprint or something...don't you agree? Will one of your 12 year olds work on that for me?
Oh...and if you or a friend need to buy or sell a house I do that much better than I do keeping passwords. I just have to throw that in once in awhile.
